Is that legal?
(I like the idea, as long as it doesn't include roosters, but I thought it was against city regs.)

Here on the other side of the Globe, in Sweden, we have both chickens and rabbits on our back yard. What´s too good or to bad to put on the compost they eat. They do a good job, are friendly and taste good! I hope you people in Nevada City let your neigbours have chickens and roosters. If you have no rooster you won´t have any chickens, as you know.
Next year my Swedish-Californian family will move to Nevada City and hope join your more sustaiable way of living and eating. / Ragnar Cooper-Hynell, Gothenburg, Sweden
